Xavier "bribe me harder daddy Chevron" Becerra
#californiagovernor #xavierbecerra #xavierbecerraforgovernor #capolitics #politics
They were joined by a crowd of #Democrats: Xavier Becerra, a fmr #California AG & Biden cabinet secretary; Tom Steyer, a fmr hedge fund manager; Katie Porter, a fmr congresswoman; Matt Mahan, the mayor of San Jose, CA; & Antonio Villaraigosa, a fmr mayor of Los Angeles.
Under California’s election laws, the top two candidates in the primary will advance to November’s general election, regardless of party.
2 Republicans & 5 Democrats took the stage for the event, hosted by NBC Los Angeles & the local Telemundo station, seeking enough support to be among the 2 top vote-getters next month.
The 2 #Republicans, Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host, & Chad Bianco, the Riverside County sheriff, have teamed up to attack #Democrats but have not differentiated themselves much from each other on policy.
The #CaliforniaGovernor Debate
What began as a tame, hourlong debate Wednesday between 7 candidates running for #California governor morphed by the 2nd half into a flurry of barbs during the last televised face-off before the June 2 primary.
The debate, held at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, was the 2nd in 2 days in the race to replace Gov Gavin Newsom to run the nation’s most populous state.

The top 7 contenders for #CaliforniaGovernor will debate at 6PM PT (9PM ET) on CNN.
The #California “jungle primary” system, could result in no #Democrat on the ballot in November.
All candidates run on one ballot in June, with the top 2 advancing — regardless of party.
A crowded Democratic field [dummies] risks splitting the vote & opening the door for 2 #Republicans to finish as the top 2, shutting #Democrats out of November’s general #election in a decidedly #BlueState.
